Don't think he's turned, just an honest assessment. This is shaping just like the men's '22 finals performance. Oh, and '23. Not sure how a supporter helps a team find its form.
You can love a club and also be a realist.

By turning up on game day and cheering them on.
1 goal in a final. One! I'm not going to bother watching any team playing like that whether its Dees or not. Same issues as the men's team. I don't think I want to put myself through another finals campaign watching the same way to lose. Plus, why tf are we choosing to play our home finals away? Just a minnow club mentality. Deserve to lose.
Are we choosing to play at Ikon or is it an AFL directive? Either way I thought the coach waited to long to make changes , like getting Harris and Zanker involved more . I expect a positive response against the Cats .

Well that was a dumpster fire. Seems the Demon Spirit has finally spread to the womens team.
Surely it's our call. The other finals looked like suburban grounds to me. Bizarre call to nit play our games at Casey.
Coach was asked about that and was diplomatic ,saying we love playing at Ikon etc , so who knows

Other games were Norwood, Kardinia Park and Metricon I think? Norwood has more of a grandstand than Casey and also centrally located.
We played both Vic finals at Ikon last year. I think we're just in s**t from. The venue is the least of our worries.

Meh. We really shouldn't have to be playing with gale force winds to turn up.

Ikon is a better venue then Casey and it's not like we haven't played there before. I'll be honest with you, I actually very much dislike Casey so I am probably biased on this opinion
Some of us can cry foul as much as we want, North would have executed the same way and embarrassed us at Casey, Ikon or anywhere. North had a plan to rock up and a mindset to execute, we looked lost, we expected things to go the same as last time. Venue is not an excuse for how we played. Adelaide minus a first and last quarter dominated us at Casey as well

Either way, it's an advantage playing at a ground you're familiar with. Not saying the result would have been different, but I find it interesting the club chooses to play their H&A games at one ground, then finals somewhere else.
I hate Ikon stadium, Princes park, whatever its called on the day.
I won't go there.
Give me the fresh air at Casey anytime of year.
Stupid idea, playing and paying the Pues for they're rubbish ground.
Yep, ridiculous. Put a bloody grandstand out at Casey if we're staying there long term FFS.
We have got to get better at making space around the contest, when we have ball in hand.
Far too often we try to handball off when in close proximity to opponents. Then the handball is under pressure, and usually misses the intended target. Or, the intended recipient is under the pump.
Once the pressure is built up, we then proceeded to hack kick the ball forward, and to no one in particular. Turning the ball over. time after time.
If, when you have to hack kick the ball forward, then kick the effin thing to open space... at least we can rush to the contest and halve it from there.
